[Verse]
  E                  A        E
This old house is a-tumbling down

                            B       E
The walls are gone but the roof is sound

                              A       E
The landlord’s deaf, he can never be found

                        B   E   B   E
It’s time to ring some changes
[Verse]
           E                   A           E
They’ll arrest you son if you just stand still

                                   B           E
They’ll ask you to pose with your hand in the till

                                     A           E
They’ll ask you to die when you’ve written your will

                        B   E
It’s time to ring some changes
[Chorus]
 A                          E                 B   E
Time to ring some changes, time to ring some changes

 A                          E                 B   E
Time to ring some changes, time to ring some changes
[Instrumental] E A E B E E A E B E [Verse]
     E                        A      E
You earn your money for your daily bread

                                B         E
But the bread’s gone up so you need more money

                                   A         E
But the money’s gone down, better borrow instead

                        B   E   B   E
It’s time to ring some changes
[Verse]
         E                 A       E
Now the politicians, they look so smug

                                    B           E
They say tell the truth, then they give you a shrug

                               A          E
You might find the truth swept under the rug

                        B   E
It’s time to ring some changes
[Chorus]
 A                          E                 B   E
Time to ring some changes, time to ring some changes

 A                          E                 B   E
Time to ring some changes, time to ring some changes
[Instrumental] E A E B E E A E B E [Verse]
     E                  A         E
Now listen here to the self-made man

                       B     E
He says why can’t you, if I can

                         A               E
Can’t you push buttons, can’t you make plans

                        B   E
It’s time to ring some changes
[Verse]
E                       A       E
I’m going to tear this mansion down

                 B        E
Get my feet back on the ground

                     A         E
Penny for penny and pound for pound

                        B   E
It’s time to ring some changes
[Chorus]
 A                          E                 B   E
Time to ring some changes, time to ring some changes

 A                          E                 B   E
Time to ring some changes, time to ring some changes

 A                          E                 B   E
Time to ring some changes, time to ring some changes

 A                          E                 B   E
Time to ring some changes, time to ring some changes
